sort Of Cowes. The arrest was made BY
london detectives, who claim to have
obtained information that the women
were acting as aceompliees Of dyna-
miters The statement is made that
forty pounds Of the dangerous explosive
was found in satchel in the possession
of the suspected parties. The theory Is
that this meanswas taken Of smuggling

AUNT AMANDA
An Old CoIorcd Woman In Indiana, Saves
Railroad Train From Disaster.

Amanda Barker, an aged negress, was
walking along the track Of the Cincin-
matt, Hamilton g. indianapolis Railroad,
near Glenwood, Indiana, on her way to
farmhouse, where she was to work dur
ing the day. She had just passed Glen
wood, lonely dismal spot between In-
dianapolis and Connersville, frcquented
only occasionally by the farmers living
around, when, on turning sharp curve
in the road, she was Mortified to see
some distance ahead the smoldering re-
mains of what had short while before
been stout, substantial bridge, con-
Meeting embankments $50 feet apart
and spanning chasm ninety-five
feet deep. The bridge had evil
IDENTIFY been burning during the
entire night, for the superstructure
was entirely eaten away by the FIRE, and
only few weak timbers and the three
stone piers were left to tell the tale. The
old woman could not collect herself for
several moments, but itsuddenly dawned
upon her that train generally passed
that point some timein the early morn
ing. She had no idea what time it was,
or when the train was due, but she knew
that il was fast one and never stopped
at Glenwood. She turned her steps
backward, intending to flag the train at
the station, but had got scarcely a hun
dred yards when she heard the shrill
scream of the whistle, as she thought,
directly ahead of her. It was the east
bound lightning express, due at Glen,
wood at forty.five minutes past five
o'clock. She tried as hard as she could
to get around the bend which obstructed
the train from view, all the time tearing
and tugging away at an old
brown apron which she wore,
which she used as signal flag.
Raising the improvised flag high above
her head, she waved it frantically,
standing in the center of the track,
where her presence could not go unno-
ticed. For a while it seemed to her that
no one saw her, but she kept her position
determined to stop the train or die in the
track. At last the engineer saw her and
reversed his engine, bringing it to stand
still few yards in front of the old woman.

when they saw how narrow their escape
had been, they could scarcely speak.
A large purse was made up for their ben
efactress, but she positively refused to
take any money, and said she was to-
happy to touch anything, that money
would only make her feel bad again.
When every one on the train was en-
graduating themselves on their escape,
the old woman became so happy that She
burst into tears, and was so joyful for
while that she hugged several Of the
ladies and gentlemen and danced an old
fashioned jig. An effort will be made
